Annoying Jingle Day
This honestly could've been a Pony Fail. I debated which story was the better fit for it. I ultimately decided it worked slightly better here than there.
A lot of you probably are not going to get the joke, especially if you're from outside the United States. If you don't get what's going on in this chapter, go to Youtube and look up "nationwide insurance commercial".
(And yes, this one's short. Chalk that up to getting sick of writing this joke over and over again REALLY fast. 
)
The public address system crackled to life, and Principal Celestia's voice sang out across the school:
"It's Annoying Jingle Day!"
Twilight poked Sunset in the arm. "What's Annoying Jingle Day?"
Ms. Harshwhinny threw a piece of chalk at Twilight. "Normal speech is not allowed!" she sang.
Twilight blinked. "Uhh...what's Annoying Jingle Day?" she sang.
Sunset rolled her eyes. "You just answered that yourself," she sang as she scribbled a note on a sheet of paper, tore it off, and passed it to Twilight:
Annoying Jingle Day is this stupid thing we do once a month where all day long you can only talk in sentences sung to the tune of that really annoying insurance jingle. It's something Pinkie Pie came up with, but Celestia liked the idea so much she made it a thing.
"Oh," Twilight said. At Harshwhinny's glare, she coughed and amended, "Oh I see, that sounds like fun..."
* * * * *
"Why did you agree to this?" Luna sang tiredly.
Celestia shrugged. "It seemed like a good idea..."
* * * * *
All throughout the school, conversations were carried out in short seven-syllable bursts of song:
"Can I borrow your chem notes?" Rainbow Dash asked Twilight.
"I can copy them for you," Twilight sang, getting into the spirit of the game.
"Wanna go out Friday night?" Skunk Rock asked Rarity.
"Sorry, have to wash my hair," Rarity replied.
"Are you coming to the game?" Rainbow asked her friends.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world," Sunset sang with a smile.
"Sorry can't I've got a thing," Fluttershy sang sadly.
"It's okay, I understand," Rainbow reassured her.
Even the kind of conversations people ought to have in private were not spared the silliness that is Annoying Jingle Day.
"Pinkie Pie has awesome boobs," Snails said as he watched Pinkie Pie walk by wearing a low-cut powder blue tank top.
"I could play with those all day," Snips agreed.
"You guys are a bunch of pervs," Apple Bloom informed them crossly.
"She should really wear a bra," Scootaloo commented.
"Who needs bras, I like my boobs!" Pinkie sang as she walked past, giggling.
* * * * *
It made teaching difficult for the faculty:
"This will all be on your test."
"We are having a pop quiz."
"We're watching a film today."
"Now let's talk about the Plague."
"Turn your phones off in my class!"
* * * * *
"Chicken parm you taste so good," Rainbow sang as she bit into her sandwich in the cafeteria.
Rarity rolled her eyes. "Don't just copy from the ads," she admonished.
"Yeah, Rainbow, that's really lame," Pinkie said.
"Y'all know this is stupid, right?" Applejack sang boredly.

What the crap did I just read?
I don't know if I should laugh or cringe...
7870194
Yeah, you and me both, maybe Sci-Twilight should have just up and called the school superintendent and tell him or her about this day that Pinkie Pie came up with, they then could order it disbanded and also suspend Pinkie for a certain length of time.
It's stuck in my head again...
Why'd you do this, MythrilMoth?
This doesn't even remotely surprise me.
*shrugs* That's your prerogative, I guess.
Since when has that stopped ANYONE?
(As someone who isn't from the US, I don't know what the jingle is, but considering I tend to end up with the weirdest things rattling around in my head anyway, I don't think I want to know.)
This ad is why I will never use this insurance company. Plus their normal spokesman is a hack.
I actually want more of this. XD
You are pure evil for doing this, you know that? Now there's no way I'm gonna get that jingle out of my head.
7870194 That... would be MY question, too.
Well that was silly... so silly that....
7870255
Note how your comment, like mine, can be sung to the tune of said jingle.
who is skunk rock? and what's this add everybody seems to know but no one calls by name? and don't all eqg girls kinda have the same type of boobs? questions over questions
7870211 Don't be that guy.
7870222 I did this because I can!
7870244 Welcome to my living hell!
7870272
Nationwide is on your side~
Umm...where's Peyton Manning?
Or Leslie Odom Jr? Or Brad Brad Paisley? Come on...
7870272 Skunk Rock is one of the two guys in Flash Sentry's band, the one in glasses with coloring similar to Diamond Tiara. He's also known as "Ringo".
The issue of the advertisement's been answered for me. As for varying breast size...well, that's not true, especially as of "Legend of Everfree". Heck, even in "Rainbow Rocks", they were making character models that had varying anatomical details. Case in point with the Dazzlings - Adagio's practically flat, while Sonata's about as buxom as the cast from the first film and Aria's between the two.
...and I feel so much shame that I'm paying attention to details like this...
7870455 There's nothing wrong with appreciating the female form, even if it's technicolor cartoon high school girls.
(On that note Pinkie's boobs got a massive upgrade for Everfree. n.n)
That is pretty silly.
7870462 I suppose. But yes, you're right, Pinkie got a buxom boost.
At least it wasn't State Farm....
Get that dumb Bronco outta here.
So sayeth the word of Bellichek, long may he guide us to victory.
Ay Pinkie. Causing trouble for everyone and looking good doing it.
OKAY! Now I will take great lenghts to avoid hearing that jingle for my own sanity. Thanks for the warning
7870455 huh, never noticed that, maybe it's because they are like 80% legs or something. then again the only thing i really remember about their body types is one of pinkie's lines from the ultra fast pony movie dub:
not sure if that is a good a bad thing though.
Certainly was a chapter.
[In sing-song voice]: Why must you do this to us?
Dammit, it's stuck in my head again.
Here. It's my battle theme music.
Thanks, Penelopea.
Dammit, this is in my head...
*starts slamming head into a wall*
State Farm, I hate them so!~
~F
"Let's all participate too."
7870886 It's Nationwide.
I do that stuff in real life.
It annoys my family.
Cuz they can't do it for shit.
I could write like this all day.
But I have to go to sleep.
Peyton Manning is the best.
Are you irritated yet?
I don't get it!
Hahah!
Nice work though
7870886 I saw a family drive around for almost a year holding a big paste board sign in the back of their SUV (with the back door open, filling the space, not sure if legal to have a person holding it like that) explaining how State Farm screwed them over. I can understand that, because when I hit a tire tread laying on the interstate, they said I should have dodged it and made me pay the collision deductible instead of using road hazard coverage, which I had at 100%. A year later they said that I had too many accidents, counting the tire incident and 2 others in about 2 years, and dropped me. I had them for about 10 years before that without any accidents. 6 months after that they started harassing my fixed income grandparents about raising their rates because I was living with them, and wanted me to prove I had insurance. After I sent a copy of my insurance card, which is good enough for the police, they said that was not enough, and I had to send my whole policy.
Where was I going with this? Oh right, F
State Farm, they were charging me $300 more than Geico is now anyway. (And obviously people don't want to get me started on State Farm.)
♫What the f*** did I just read?♫
♫This is now stuck in my head!♫
♫Why'd you do this, you sadist?♫
♫I just wanted a light read!♫
♫Now you've ruined my weekend!♫
♫This comment isn't helping!♫
♫But seriously, you write well.♫
♫I'm not that mad, just playing.♫
♫This is surprisingly fun!♫
♫I see now why you did this!♫
♫Have a good day, you made mine!♫
♫How's my ode to Nationwide?♫
So... Did you eat or drink something unidentified before writing this chapter?
7871396 Nope, just one too many Nationwide commercials within too short a time frame.
Uh... I'm probably gonna regret asking this, but can anybody throw a link to this jingle in my general direction?
Luckily I have a bunch of pony fandom songs memorized to keep this stupid jingle from messing with my sanity...
Oh my God this kind of hurt.
Did you think that this was smart?
I would doubt your judgement man
But at least I am impressed
Keep it up, just without forcing us to remember that ad. You want annoying ads? The Canadian Pizza ville ads are right up there.
Now my internal monologue has died
I look up on youtube but I mustn't have found the right video cause I still don't get it.
Though I do hesitate on
or 
7870263 Huh. I hadn't noticed that.
7872732 Final Fantasy VII is an amazing game. Even though it's become rather dated after 20 years, it paved the way for all modern console RPGs.Way back when it first came out, and we got that first look at Midgar in the game's opening cutscene...
That was a truly magical, special moment in gaming history.
7873211
I enjoyed 7, but it will always have a sore spot for me when funding was diverted to 7 from Xenogears.
~GOD I HATE THAT STUPID SONG~
Manning, look at what you've done.
No, I don't have any shame.
Flash: Well, I never thought I'd say this but... I'm glad I was too depressed to attend school today.
Need help getting a song loose from your head?
